It could have 2 tangents, depending on the value of k, because it was a reciprocal graph. It had to different curves

Ah yes! May not be as wrong as I thought then :smile:

:smile:

Hopefully I got one of them right.

yhh same, but i ended up with surds for most of them :/

Same - really annoying but I'm sure we did it the right way

Yeah I got that for the 125 root 5 question :smile:

:smile:

I used the quadratic formula three times I think :smile:

:smile:

For the 125 root 5 question did you get 5^7/2?

Spot on

What did anyone get for question 9? and for question 10 what was people intersecting circles?

what did you guys get for the minimum value of y?

Can I have a prediction of the grade boundaries for an A btw ?

Which one was question 9?

Someone create an unofficial mark scheme to with predicted grade boundaries?

The divisible by 3? I ended up from the sum as 3x^2+2

What did people get for the coefficient of x^3 in the binomial expansion question?

I got that but did you divide it by 3 as means of explaining you couldn't fully divide it by 3 ?

I reckon it will be about 55-58 for an A i thought the paper was quite easy apart from the last question
Q 12 is where most candidates will loose loads of marks

I think I got everything right apart from retardedly writing 8a^8 instead of 8a^9...

last question was k=0 or 4, by discriminant = 0

distance between chord and centre was root10

on one of them the y intercepts (I think) were 2+root11 and 2-root11

cant remember much else

-2560 but i think I've put positive 2560 :frown:

I got k as 0 and 12. The tried verifying the values k by subbing it back in the quadratic. Was 9 the proof if so I got 3n for the first one and said that 3 can be taken out. And the 9 part 2 I got 3n^2+2 and said 3 couldn't be removed. Not sure about part 2 though. I got (2,-7) as min point

Yeh eventually and for the coefficient i got it wrong but it was 10 x 4 x -64x^3

coefficient was -2560
